2.8. Statistical analysis
The GTiwas expressed as the mean±standard deviation and groups
were compared using a Student's t test. Values were considered
significantly different when pb0.05. Values of RT-qPCR experiments
were expressed as the mean±standard deviation and were compared
by a Student's t test (fed versus unfed conditions). For quantitative histology,
statistical analyses were performed using the non-parametric
Kruskal–Wallis test followed by a multiple comparison test. For the
thermal stress trial, statistical analyses were made with Fisher's exact
test (Scherrer, 2007).
